Almost from the beginning of Christianity, its followers have belived in and used certain ritual
practices to obtain help in their times of need. Prayers alone are often used and they sometimes
obtain the desired result. There are many other instances, however, (even mentioned in the Bible)
when a specific procedure (ie.magic) must be used to achieve one's objective.
We have only to recall Moses using a certain act to produce a serpent from his staff or water from
stone, Joshua had his men engage in precise activities days before the felling of Jericho's walls
and Jesus gave specific instructions to the blind man to return his sight. Christianity has also
held that there exists a communion, or community, of saints who, though deceased, can intercede
for those still in the flesh.
Even the Sacraments of the Church have a magcal aspect to them. For example, one can't just
take a swig of Four Roses and take bite of Wonder Bread and expect that he has partaken of the
Body and Blood of Christ. That mystery can only be done by a priest and only through a specific
consecration ritual. Even the Protestants have their magical beliefs (though they may deny it), eg.
why must one "come forward" at a revival service, if they believe, have repented, etc.

~ Working With The Saints ~
When asking the Saints to intercede on your behalf, it's most important to be sincere in your petition.
furthermore, it is not wise to ask for that which would be against that particular saint's nature or
principals. It is most helpful to think through your request very thoroughly, perhaps even writing it
down. Some saints are very appreciative of gifts, sometimes before you make your request, sometimes
after and sometimes both.
Usually, one's prayers for interession are accompanied by the burning of candles. Often, simple votive
candles are sufficient, but 7 day novena candles of a color appropriate to the saint is even more
effective. In addition, some saints have special oils for anointing their candle. Many people also wear
the medal of a saint, partcularly their patron saint, and carry a prayer card with the picture and prayer to
the saint whose intercession is sought.

~ Praying With The Psalms ~
The Psalms are an ideal prayer book, because there seems to be a Psalm for almost every intent or
situation. When using the Psalms for a desired solution or result, it helps if one adds other devotional
acts, eg. burning a candle and/or incense. While this is not always necessary, every act of devotion
conveys one's sincerity. Some Psalms do require special acts of devotion to accompany their reading.
When reading the Psalm, do it in a reverent, meditative manner - a hurried reading may bring a
haphazard result, or no result at all.

64 - Accidents, To avoid ...

~ Novenas For Special Intents ~
Among our most popular items, at Bayou St. John, are our Seven Day Novena Candles. These are
candles, in glass, which are designed to burn for seven consecutive days. When using these candles,
each day, for seven days, one is pray before the Novena candle the prayer(s) for that saint and intent.
Usually the prayer(s) are printed on the glass container. It is best to say the novena paryer(s) at the
same time each day.
When praying your novena, make the sign of the cross (†) and say "† In the Name of the Father, The
Son, and The Hoy Spirit. † Amen.", before and after your novena prayer(s). When your petition is
granted be sure to keep any vow that you may have made and to publish a notice of thanksgiving.
